I wouldn't have enjoyed that voyage.  Historical accounts say the Pilgrims were quite the chair hogs and didn't control their kids very much.

Also, no bacon or plastic straws.

Interesting! Many thanks.

 

I like knowing how systems work.

Unlike many others, I don't take systems for granted.

If you have access to Amazon Prime I recommend this video.  One of the most interesting "behind the scenes" documentaries on a cruise ship I've ever seen.  There is an entire segment on provisioning.

One of my "cruise rules" is if im getting sushi im getting it sailaway night or 1st day at sea. 

 

This led me to wonder how and where CCL restocks food in the Caribbean, especially on longer cruises. 

 

We have an upcoming 12 nt sailing, first 4 nt at sea.  Then 5 straight port days before 3 nt at sea before debarkation. 

 

What islands do you think would have ability to restock supplies for large ships?  Or does CCL just freeze most of the protein onboarded on embarkation day?  

 

 

 

As Anthony Bourdain once said---'its not that sushi fish is fresh, its that its at the perfect state of decomposition'  🙂
